Illustration Friday Entry - Zoo
11/29/2007 4:57:12 PM
Seeing what the current Illustration Friday topic is, I couldn't help posting this illustration that I didn't for a good friend of mine who wrote, performed and is selling a children's music CD about animals
I was fortunate enough to be around in the early days of his planning for this CD, so I was able to tackle the fun task of doing all of his Graphics and Illustration work for the project. The CD is great and it's available at www.jenksmusic.com. I'd really recommend that you visit the site and have a listen!
November, 2007 Update

Happy November everyone! Wow, I can't believe that the year is almost over. It's been a while since I've updated my news, so I thought now might be a good time to let everyone know what I've been up to.
In September I hiked up Mt. Adams. The summit is about 12,000 feet, and while I only made it up to 11,000, I had a great time and plan on doing it again next year.
Right now I'm in a church play. We're performing the musical Oliver! My daughter's in it with me and we're having a great time.
Work-wise, I'm keeping very busy. In addition to lots of freelance work, I also have some personal projects I'm trying to make something of. Probably the most prominent is the design and illustrations I'm doing for my friend Corey's music CD Jenks: Animals from A to Z. It's a great children's CD filled with catchy orignal songs about animals, of course. Click on the link and have a listen!
I've also been doing a lot of work with a site called CafePress.com. It's a cool site where you can put your designs on products to sell. Since they print and ship all of the items on demand, there's no inventory to worry about.
Some of the CafePress Shops that I'm working on are:
As if all of this wasn't enough, I'm still occassionally writing reviews for my site Groundlings Review.
A lot of exciting things are going on! I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving next week and Happy Holidays after that!
Later,
Dennis!
New Reviews on Groundlings Review
4/16/2007 12:40:50 PM
I've added two new reviews to my Groundlings Review site. One is a combined review of two similar movies, The Prestige and The Illusionist. The other is a review of a surprisingly (to my tastes, at least) good drama on NBC called The Black Donnellys that unfortunately looks like it's going to be cancelled.
